TSUJIRI was founded in 1860 by Riemon Tsuji who was renowned for his spirit of “YUWA”, meaning "continue to innovate and sustain the tradition". His statue was built in Kyoto, Japan to honor his contribution to the Japanese tea industry. Mr. Tsuji has refined the cultivation of Gyokuro (the highest grade of Japanese green tea) and his method is still being used to this day. He is also the inventor of the tea box that preserves the longevity and freshness of the tea leaves during transportation, making fresh tea from Kyoto available to other Japanese cities a century ago. In 2010, CHAHO, which means tea shop in Japanese, was first established outside of Japan to carry on our founder’s spirit and to serve fresh tea to our customers worldwide.
Reviews describe Tsujiri Montreal as a popular destination for matcha fans with a broad menu of desserts drinks and some savory options like ramen and soba; matcha is praised for richness and authenticity though some items are described as less strong or overly sweet and a few desserts feel pricey or inconsistent in quality; the atmosphere is often described as cozy and Japanese inspired with ample seating good for studying or catching up but it can get crowded and noisy in peak hours; service is generally friendly and professional with staff helpful and attentive though isolated rude experiences are noted; the cafe also receives compliments for its modern decor and variety of offerings like hojicha yuzu and kuromitsu desserts; overall it comes across as a top choice for matcha in Montreal delivering strong matcha desserts and drinks in a welcoming setting with some items needing closer consistency.
Absolutely loved this place! Visited the restaurant last week, & oh boy - I must say, they serve the best matcha in town. From the moment I walked in, I was amazed by the variety of matcha-infused desserts on the menu. Their matcha-flavored cakes were heavenly - rich, balanced, & full of authentic matcha goodness. I haven't tried the matcha tiramisu yet, but it's definitely on my list for next time. If you're a matcha lover, this spot is an absolute must-visit!
Cosy coffee/matcha shop. Casual talking to friends & passing time with amazing pastry & drinks. The cakes were all amazing & fluffy & light, not too sweet.

I don't even like matcha lol but the few non matcha option I've tried when I came here with matcha fans were delicious the poke soba tastes sooo unique & so good!! I like the yuzu iced tea, simple but good. & the sakura matcha cake they have in spring sometimes is always delicious, small but really good! Also the place is really pretty & the employees are nice ☺️
If you like macha, hojicha & Japanese cakes, this is a nice cafe that you must visit. The ambience is quiet & peaceful. Cake & ice-cream with strong green tea flavour & the sweetness is just right.
Love the color of Matcha latte! Such a fresh dark green color I was looking for! Strawberry short cakes was so creamy & tastes simply amazing! One question about service is that my friend said she paid tips so the staff is supposed to bring the food over but they didn't.
Soba is a noodle which is made by matcha. It's delicious. We also ordered houjicha caramel chiffon cake. The cream on the top of the cake is made of maple. It's a good favor I've never tried before.
The staff were okay, not rude but not welcoming. The matcha latte is just milk cant taste the matcha. It's also on the pricy side. The matcha cake was bland, no flavor. The yuzu tea was great. The place is cute.

Such a great spot to study, for dates, or for good Japanese matcha goodies! We ordered their matcha cake, matcha latté & matcha mochi parfait! The matcha was so flavourful & strong, which is exactly what you want! They also sell ramen as well! The atmosphere was really good & a lot of seating!
After coming back from Tokyo, I have been on the constant hunt for the best matcha in Montreal. This Summer, my partner introduced me to this hidden gem called "Tsujiri." Not only did they have the best matcha I ever tasted, they have a delicious array of matcha & hojicha sweets/cakes/desserts & ramen (their tonkotsu is a must try). & to top it all off, the service at Tsujiri is absolutely top-notch & their atmosphere/aesthetic is so Japanese that sometimes I have to remind myself that I am still in Montreal (sadly) & not in Japan. 10/10 Would recommend to each & everyone I know!
I love the drinks, especially the Kinako latte & the Azuki latte. I am glad they offer different choices for the milk, & also how much sugar you want in it. I tried a few of their cakes, they are great too: I loved the O-Matcha, the Hojicha chiffon cake, the Yuzu cheesecake & the Mont-Blanc. I appreciate the packaging for the cakes, the boxes have a little handle on the top, which makes it easier to carry home. Good service as well. Hope to try the savoury food too, someday.
